Rekonq
快速,使用简单的基于WebKit的KDE浏览器 |
简介
最初基于qtwebkit (现在基于kdewebkit), rekonq是一个轻量级的浏览器,使用了WebKit渲染引擎,并且融合了多种KDE技术,使其与KDE桌面无缝融合了。这名字可追溯到那尊敬的、“古老”的khtml核心浏览器 Konqueror,那是KDE的默认浏览器。
在Chakra与Kubuntu中,rekonq已取代Konqueror作为KDE的默认浏览器,更表达了他们的未来版本中类似的意图。现在的稳定版本是rekonq 0.6.1。
界面
默认情况下,rekonq窗口只有一个工具栏这个主工具栏包括4个按钮(
, , , ),地址栏以及两个菜单按钮,一个是 另一个则是 。这种简化主工具条的方法表明着最有意义的、对于大多数浏览器(像Konqueror)使用的传统多工具栏样式的离经叛道。此外,主工具栏只可有限定制 -
(默认是窗口顶部), (默认为中)以及 (默认不显示)。这些使rekonq的界面保持简洁,使屏幕上的焦点始终保持在页面上。0.5.0版引进了多功能地址栏的技术预览,可以直接使用下拉菜单来搜索。下拉菜单还包括了历史和收藏中的匹配项目。
当你开始使用时,rekonq显示的是“新选项卡”页面,大部分内容是一组喜爱网页的缩略图。这些缩略图使用户更加快速地访问他们最常访问的网页。上部还有几个小方格,允许用户切换到最近关闭的选项卡的预览、收藏页面列表、下载以及历史。
附加的设置选项可以激活一些默认不显示的界面元素。这些元素包括了收藏工具栏、收藏面板(面板就是一个可以在主窗口中调整大小、分离或重新停靠的小窗口)、历史面板和网页检查器(对于网页开发来说非常有用)。
功能
尽管外观很简洁,rekonq依旧提供了一大堆很给力很给力的功能。一部分功能将在下面介绍:
KDE集成
rekonq设计的目标就是做KDE浏览器。而且你可看到;
外观
It obeys your themes, fonts, window decoration, menu highlighting, and many personalization options you set for your desktop.
Applications
rekonq plays well with other applications in the KDE family. rekonq will always use your chosen default applications to handle file types. PDF files, for example will open in an embedded Okular kpart within rekonq itself. Media files will open in Dragon Player (or any other designated default application for that filetype).
Bookmarks, web shortcuts (more on these later), cookies and authentication information are shared with Konqueror. You will see the same set of bookmarks from either application and you can log onto a website in Konqueror and carry on seamlessly if you decide to switch to rekonq. Your passwords are stored securely in KWallet and can be used from either Konqueror or rekonq.
Your downloads can be optionally handled by KGet. Feeds from websites can be saved to Akregator (or Google Reader).
Services
KIO support
rekonq supports KIO services, including cookies, cache, proxies and network settings. KIO-slaves like file:/, ftp:/, man:/, help:/, info:/ etc will work in rekonq, too.
Dialogs
In addition to all this, rekonq uses KDE's own file dialog for opening/saving documents. This means, you have access to the Places sidebar from Dolphin while you open or save documents.
Thus, rekonq looks, feels and behaves like a part of your KDE desktop.
WebKit engine
rekonq uses the open source WebKit rendering engine which incidentally began life as a branch of the khtml/kjs libraries from the KDE project. WebKit is fast, powerful and used by many other popular browsers today including Google's Chrome/chromium, Apple's Safari and others.
Auto-load/click-to-load plugins
One of the benefits of using the WebKit engine, is that plugins can be disabled from automatically loading. This comes in handy to surf websites fast, without being bogged down by flash plugins. In the so-called Click-to-load mode, you will instead see a button that you can click on to activate the plugin.
Adblock support
rekonq comes with an automatic subscription to the Easylist filter, which is updated every week. Additionally, you can set up manual filters to block loading of elements from webpages that match your criteria. You can even download and import additional published filterlists or export your list for backup.
Web shortcuts support
rekonq allows you to pick from an extensive list of web shortcuts - these are keywords that allow you to search the web quickly. For instance, entering
gg:KDE
in the location bar will search Google for "KDE", while
wp:KDE
will search Wikipedia for "KDE". There are dozens of these defined by default. You can edit these or even define custom shortcuts to search on your favorite websites.
Privacy and security features
rekonq allows users to browse the web without retaining information about the visited pages in your history. Note that this feature does not necessarily make you anonymous on the Internet - it only prevents fresh information from being recorded on your computer. You can also delete your history, cookies and other private data anytime straight from the configuration menu button.
When viewing webpages over a secure connection, you can also view SSL information straight from the URLbar by clicking on the
icon.Advanced tab handling
rekonq allows you to rearrange your tabs on the fly. Just drag a tab to the left or to the right and the other tabs will move out of your way. You can also hover over a tab to see a live preview of the webpage being displayed there.
A context menu (right-click menu) gives access to more tab-related functions such as the ability to detach, clone, reload the tab.
Session restore feature
If rekonq crashes, it will automatically attempt to restore your session, complete with all the tabs the next time you start it. If for some reason, the browser continues to crash upon restoring the session, rekonq will automatically start with a fresh session the second time.
Full screen mode
rekonq supports full-screening the webpage straight from the configuration menu button or through a keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+F, by default). In the full screen view, the main toolbar will auto-hide and the webpage will be displayed over your entire screen.
Zoom slider
rekonq has a slider to adjust the zoom right from the configuration menu with a handy button to restore the zoom back to default. Of course, you can still use keyboard (Ctrl+ +/-) or mouse (Ctrl + mouse scroll up/down) shortcuts just the same.
